- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced

Cooking Tips:
- Rinse quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove any bitterness.
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the chickpeas and vegetables to prevent sticking.
- Adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or less chili powder and jalapeno pepper.
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, bring the quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed.
2. In a large non-stick pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chickpeas, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno pepper, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. To assemble the wraps, place a tortilla on a plate. Spoon a quarter of the quinoa and chickpea mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro. Squeeze a lime wedge over the top.
5. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
